USD/JPY drops to fresh daily lows
FXStreet (Córdoba) - USD/JPY fell sharply as the dollar weakened broadly during the New York session following a string of disappointing US data.
US housing starts slumped 11.4% in March, pulling back from a 7-year high, while a gauge of manufacturing activity by Markit and initial jobless claims came in below expectations. The dollar was initially resilient but then surrendered and fell to fresh lows versus most competitors.

USD/JPY pulled back from the 120.00 area and hit a low of 119.58. At time of writing, the pair is trading at 119.65, 0.23% below its opening price.
